Problems solved by technology

In the above case, the talker is too sensitive to the transparent special area, which creates a problem that the image projected on the liquid crystal display gives an uncomfortable feeling
[0008] In addition, the structure of the conventional videophone becomes very complicated, therefore, its cost is also high

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to videotelephony devices, and more particularly to videotelephony devices capable of providing intimate telephonic communication between a transmitter and a receiver interlocutor. Background technique [0002] A videophone is a device that allows two distant people to converse while looking at each other's images. Therefore, it is best for people at both ends of the phone to look at the cameras of their respective videophones. If the talker's gaze is far away from the position of the camera, the image of the talker who turned at one end can be seen by the talker at the other end, which may cause a trouble that communication cannot be performed smoothly. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 6-217298 (hereinafter referred to as a conventional videophone) discloses a videophone that guides a talker's line of sight to a camera. [0003] In a conventional videophone, a camera imaging the talker at the transmit...
